AN ARDENT REALIST.

The apostles of realism in fiction are severely cutting Rider Haggard for his wanton and malicious entertain ment of thousands of people whom the sober realists have failed to reach with their faithful pictures of very dull and uninstructive phases of life. "Why, sir" exclaimed a realist, "you are a disgrace to latter-day fiction"
 "Why SOP" MT. Haggard asked.
 Because your books are entertain ing. Why, sir, am told that some of your situations are actually thrill ing. This will never do never do, sir. The idea of man writing book that people want to read! It is a shame, sir"
 "What sort of novel should he write?"
 "A true one, sir. I don't mean that it should be recital of an absolute occurrence-tor that might be too ex- citing-but it should deal mainly in the remarks which simple-minded people make. There should be no blood in it, sir"
 "But is there not blood in actual life?"
 "Oh, yes; but it doesn't want to show itself ill realistic novel,"
 "How are you going to get people to read such book?"
 "My dear sir, nobody expects peo- pie to read it."
 But how does the author make any money?"
 ''He sells it to magazine"
 'How does the magazine make it pay?"
 "My dear sir, am astonished at your ignorance. The magazine sur rounds it with entertaining matter written by obscure newspaper re- porters. The reporters mission is to sustain the magazine, and it is the duty of the magazine to support the realist. What pity it is that Dick ems did not open his eyes to the real ill fiction. What conversations be- tween spinsters he might have given us; what portrayals of grocery book exactness he might have left to glor- fly his now dying name. What chance he missed in Nicaec6er. h. stead of sending him to prison for debt, he could have devoted him to such charmingly realistic conversa- tions with washerwomen with regard to the tiounces on young ladies' gowns. And there was Dumas, the great sensationalist. Threw himself away, sir; quite away. He could have done something with the Count of Monte Csisto, but he threw him away. Now, word of advice to you: Be real. Don't attempt to be entertaining or instructive, but be real. When you write book read it to stupid friend, and, if it does not put him to sleep, tear it up and write 1t over again. Keep on, and when you succeed in making your friend snore, you may then know that your performance is creditable and that the magazines will pay you good price for it. Oh, I beseech you, think of what l have said. We are trying so hard to improve fiction. Help us."

THE JUDGE GOT"

judicial circuit, is, while on the bench, a man of severe dignity, but in pri- vate life he is known as a gentleman of many admirable social qualities. Several days ago the judge went out into the mountains to rest and amuse himself, and had just dismounted from his horse when a peculiar looking old fellow came along the rough path that wound its way among the jagged rocks. The old fellow, upon spying the judge, stop ped, looked earnestly, and then an odd smile crept about the corners of his mouth, and then, as though seek ing ambush, secreted itself in the old fellows whiskers.
 "Good morning." the judge pleas antly called.
 "Hi"
 Do you live about here?"
 "Ah, hah."
 "Any fish in this stream?"
 "Dunno."
 "Plenty of squirrels up there, I suppose"
 "Dunno."
 "Think we'll have rain?"
 "Dunno.~
 The judge, somewhat disgusted, turned away and threw his line into the water. "Chug," a stone struck his cork. He turned quickly, but saw no movement on the part of the old fellow, who sat on stone, with both hands showed deep into his pockets.
 "What was that?" the judge de- manded.
 "What?"
 "Something struck my cork"
 "Don't know nothin' erbout it.''
 The judge turned away, and the next moment another stone struck his cork. The judge turned quickly, but the old fellow sat with his hands in his pockets.
 "Look here, sir, I believe that's you."
 "Yas, this is me-"
 ''I say I believe you threw those stones"
 (Which stones?"
 "Those that struck my cork. Don't you do it again."
 The judge again devoted himself to his fishing, but not without inter- ruption, for stone came down and knocked his cork off
 "You contounded old wretch what's the matter with your"
 ''Nothin'. Whut's the matter with you?"
 "You good for nothing old rascal, you don't know how to treat a gentle man."
 "Never had a chance to treat one tall"
 "Don't talk to me that way. You don't know who am."
 "Yas, I reckon I do." The smile sprang from it's ambush in his whisk- CTS and pranced over his face. "Some time ago." said the old fellow, 'I was a witness in yo' court, an' while I wuz thar you let one O them lawyers ketch me in lie an drowned at me an rid over me am hil me down an cleared vo' throat at me an shuck yo' head at me an done everything you could to make me wush that 1 wuz dead, an now you must git"
 "What do you mean?"
 "Mean that you must git; mosey 'way rum here. It's my time to make you feel mean. Drap that pole an git"
 'l won't do it, sir
 "Won't you? Wall, we'll see"
 He drew an enormous horse pistol.
 "Git!"
 Look out, l."
 "Gitw
 "Let me get my hat and coat"
 "Never mind. Gitw
 The judge got, and when he re- turned home he told his wife that he had given his hat and coat to poor blind man whom he had found in the hills.
 "Ah, Robert" she said, as she put her arms around his neck, "your generosity and benevolence will be re- warded, if not in this world"
 "That's all right, Mary. The poor man needed help"
 "Why, you've torn your trousers and lost the heel off one of your boOts."
 "Yes, I jumped into the water to save little girl"
 "You are noble man, Robert"

a Maidstone,

Terre Haute. Ind, June 21-The mad
stone owned in this city, which has a
record OF 80 years in one family, has had
two successful cases added to the list
within q few days. James Walker, of
IryinR's Station, I'll. brought his little
girl, who had been severely bitten by a
dog supposed to be mad. The stone
would not adhere and this was considered
conclusive evidence that no virus had en-
tered the ehild,s blood, especially
as the dogs teeth passed
through her clothing, Miss Hoover,
of Newman, H., was bitten by
q dog that died from rabies. Other dogs
bitten by this dog died in the same man
ner. Miss Hoover was terribly lecerated.
Two days after being bitten the atone
was applied and adhered fourteen hours
to the flesh near one OF the wounds. It
turned q dark color and fell of. BY the
use of sweet milk it's pores we're purged
of the virus. and beng applied again it
adhered ten hours and again two hours.
Miss Hoover lie rapidly reeovering.In the
hundreds OF cases on record Of Its use
there is nope of the death Of o person
when the etone had adhered to the flesh.
